LSUS Institute to host seminar series in rural parishes
10/07/04

The LSUS Institute for Human Services and Public Policy will conduct a series of three nonprofit administration seminars between Oct. 14 and March 24, 2005, in each of five rural Northwest Louisiana parishes.

The seminars – Fundraising, Grant Writing & Strategic Planning and Volunteer Management – are free thanks to state funding for nonprofit management education obtained through the efforts of state Sen. Sherri Smith Cheek (R-Keithville). Registration for the seminars, however, is required.
